Award-winning country music festival returns to Manchester from 21st - 24th May 2026, as Buckle & Boots also expands internationally with its first-ever Switzerland edition later the same month.
Buckle & Boots has announced the full line-up for its 2026 UK festival, returning to Whitebottom Farm, Manchester for its 10th anniversary year.
Since launching in 2016, the festival has grown into one of the UK’s best-loved independent country music events, attracting artists and audiences from across the UK, the US and beyond.
The newly announced 2026 line-up includes Gareth, Dan Smalley, Halle Kearns, Jeremy McComb, Roan Ash, Kezia Gill, The Washboard Union, Payton Taylor, Sam Grow, Sophie Hanson, Jenn Bostic, Harper Grace, Kaylee Rose and Jade Helliwell, alongside a wider supporting bill set to appear across the weekend.
Beyond the stages, Buckle & Boots will once again offer the wider festival experience fans have come to know and love, with camping and glamping, food and drink, shopping and style, writers’ rounds, and the Hawkstone Bar all part of the weekend.
As the UK festival celebrates its 10-year anniversary, 2026 will also mark an important new chapter for the brand with the launch of Buckle & Boots Switzerland - the first-ever Swiss edition of the festival. The new event will take place in Aarau on 28th - 29th May 2026.
Laura from Buckle & Boots said: “Reaching the 10-year anniversary of Buckle & Boots is a huge milestone for everyone who has been part of this journey. What started as a passion project has grown into something truly special, and 2026 feels like the perfect way to celebrate everything Buckle & Boots stands for - incredible live country music, unforgettable moments, and a community that feels like family. We’re also incredibly excited that this year marks another major first for us with the launch of Buckle & Boots Switzerland. But at the heart of it all is our UK festival at Whitebottom Farm, and we can’t wait to welcome artists and fans back for what promises to be one of our biggest and most memorable years yet.”
Tickets for Buckle & Boots are on sale now via the official festival website.
